Use your
nose as mouse. Open your mouth for click. As simple as that.
Work with a computer hands-free, using your computer's webcam!

Gear-free, sub-pixel precision, robust to any head motion,
Highly configurable, full mouse functionality, with built-in
customizable onscreen keyboard,
Hands-free mouse alternative, which is as powerful and as it is
affordable! (See demos at left).

All this is possible with Nouse®
Perceptual Vision Interface technology,
which stands for 'Nose
as Mouse', pronounced ['naus],
and is a Canadian invention that made a difference in lives of
many people (Read
testimonial).

Still unique
and superior to competitors, thanks to its five(!) scientific and
technological innovations,
and extreme level of testing and customization performed in partnership
with Saint Vincent Hospital, Bruyere Research Institute, and Department
of Rebilitation Science of Univerity of Ottawa.

In 2013
Nouse technology has been officially approved by the
Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Care and added to the Ontario's
Assistive Devices Program (ADP) Product
list.

Press
coverage"The
Nouse is still in the prototype phase but Dmitry hopes it will be
available for everyone to use whether it be as an alternative to the
keyboard or for gaming. Just like its predecessor the mouse back in the
1960s, the Nouse was created to make computer operations easier for
everyone" (YouTube)

"Using a computer will soon be a
lot easier for disabled people, thanks to a hands-free device created
by Canadian researchers. ... The "Nouse," short for "nose as mouse," is
the brainchild of Dmitry Gorodnichy, research officer at the National
Research Council's Institute for Information Technology" (CNN,

"Satellites and Tang aren't the
only innovations the space race has brought us. Ottawa scientist Dmitry
Gorodnichy's work on the Canadarm project was instrumental in the
development of the Nouse -- a hands-free alternative to the computer
mouse"- Maclean's (Cached)

"Dr. Gorodnichy's work on visual recognition of body motion goes back
to his days working on upgrading the robotic lifting arm used in the
space shuttle. He was one of many scientists at the research council
who had worked on that project, which was Canadian designed and built" (The New York Times , cached)

"The
inventor, Dmitry Gorodnichy of the Institute of Information Technology
in Ottawa, Canada, calls his nose-steered mouse a "nouse". In addition
to giving people a change from the keyboard and mouse, he hopes it will
make using a PC easier for people who have a disability." - New Scientist
